After a good start, the Caps have struggled of late. If this trend continues for much of the season, is it likely that some of the off-season free agent pick-ups would be moved, much like was done around the trading deadline last year, with some of the veterans on the team? Or are they (Kozlov, Nylander, Poti) part of the long term rebuilding project for the Caps?

Also, the Jagr contract is set to expire this season. Once it does and the Caps no longer have to front part of his salary to New York, will the Caps use that money to look at another big time free agent? Or continue building through the organization?

Bruce has the authority. When Bruce makes the decision, it's a Redskins decision.
